Hi bud and all.

We never had the eye of the storm here. When it came in the winds 
just kept getting worse and worse. By the time the north side of the 
eye made it up this way we made it into the eye wall and we just 
stayed there. We never did have any calm in this storm.
I watched my RV try  to roll over at least two times. It was fun to 
watch. It is a good thing that I did move it from where it was and 
had the house block some of the wind or it would have gone rolling!!!!


We just got power back today. We lost power Monday at 8:30 am and I 
was making power here since Monday afternoon at around $3.00 a hour 
so getting back on fpl is a lot cheaper.

We all made it through fine and the house is ok. Whatever antennas 
that made it through last year are no longer good so I have no 
antennas up in the air. My well pump and water system are just 
patched together and my spa heater/pump etc aren't much better.

I just wanted to let everyone know that we made it!!!!


Think about it .....
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
